Ill get the word out!
"Coli poster Poiter decides the fate of mix children everywhere requiring that their mother must be black in order for them to be considered black"
I'm glad somebody appointed you leader of black people to decide this. thank you sir :salute:

You need a Black father, too. I only speak for myself.

But Aaliyah's is inside of that line? Please explain. And show me that line.

And 'blackness' is not based on phenotype? That's absurd.

Aaliyah has 2 Black parents and looks like a fair skinned Black girl. She would never be confused for Mexican.

And phenotype is a but a component of race.

Ok...She's going to go for a white role and be like "Bu Bu Bu But I'm not black, Poiter from the Coli said so" :mjlol:

Nope, she will go for what White people give her and since she is half-Cac that is more than what they will give full Blacks and many times opportunities meant for full Blacks. It starts with Blacks acknowledging biracials are different (but still embracing) and controlling the media depiction of themselves.

Can black people do movies besides biopic moves of black celebrities and slave movies.

i mean got damn we so fukking limited in movies and the stories that are told

There needs to be an audience for it. :manny:
Whenever a black film that breaks the norm(Red Tails; Great Debators, Rosewood) is released , the film usually makes little to no money.

Mexican? No. Mulatto? Definitely.

And I think anybody who would confuse Zendaya as 'Mexican' would, in your words, be smart to get their eyes checked, eh?

Most of this thread and the internet thought she was Mexican before looking her ethnicity up.

Before they entertained the possibility of her being black? That's funny.

And I don't know about the big ass internet, but there was very few mentions of her being Mexican in this thread. Probably once. Twice if you're not completely full of shyt. :pachaha:

Reread the thread and look at the daps. No one thought she was Black. The only people who knew were fanboys and disney pedophiles screaming "but she has a Black father!"

Very few people in this thread said she looked Mexican though:pachaha:

And the ones who did don't know what they're talking about.

Point is: Both Aaliyah and Zendaya (a Bantu name I see...) are both part black and lightskinned as fukk, so who cares if one plays another one in a movie. You nikkas need to learn how to have deep racial discussions where it counts.
